This issue we find out what the vampire that bit Spawn last issue wanted. Actually, I don't think it was Al. I think the Vampire was after the costume. Apparently it's a symbiont entity that's simple enough for the Vampire to control. With this issue, Al seems to be at war with his costume. And for some reason, the Vampire has tricked Al into thinking that he needs to kill Wanda. Nyx tries to help, but she seems to be way out of her element here. Either that or she needs to figure out another way around it. Al's brother, the Detective, just seems to be lamenting over all the trouble Al's brought to his and his family's life. Deep down he wishes Al had stayed dead. And Cyan is getting visions of her mother's death. As she's getting older she seems to be more and more connected to Al. She knows he's in trouble, but she has no idea what, or if, she can do anything to help. She doesn't even know how to get ahold of him . . until he shows up at her bedroom door. "You're here to kill my mom . . aren't you?" It looks like this will be the final story arc for David Hine and Brian Haberlin. And really, that's too bad. They've both been doing a fantastic job with this series. I've thoroughly enjoyed their work. The only silver lining to this news is that the new creative team will consist of Brian Holguin, Whilce Portacio, and . . . Todd McFarlane? I'm not sure what Todd's going to be doing. In the previews it just says . . "Todd McFarlane is also returning to Spawn, and he is involved in everything related to his flagship book." I guess he'll be doing some writing, pencils or inks, and probably some covers. Anyways all of this takes place with issue #185. Can you believe this book is almost up to #200. Wow! Anyways, enjoy David and Brian's final story-arc. It could prove to be very interesting.
